Wilfrid Kaptoum stepped up in Matt Polster’s absence

Wilfrid Kaptoum had played only 91 minutes so far this MLS season but he was tasked with a tough job to do on Saturday night. Kaptoum had to replace Matt Polster in the New England Revolution midfield.

Polster missed Saturday’s 3-2 win over FC Cincinnati due to yellow card accumulation. Kaptoum along with Tommy McNamara were tasked with commanding the midfield.

The Cameroonian midfielder played 64 minutes on Saturday and completed 22 of his 24 passes and had 36 touches. Kaptoum also had three interceptions.

Overall, Kaptoum looked much more comfortable out on the pitch.
